About
BSc
Economics and Accounting

By optimising our teaching to combine subject areas we are able to offer you a genuinely integrated degree in economics and accounting, enabling you to study both disciplines in depth.

In the first two years you learn skills across the core disciplines of economics, accounting and finance. This allows you to specialise in the final year when you can choose a range of units from economics, accounting, finance, management and law.

Most of the assessment that forms the final degree result takes the form of closed-book examinations, a feature that is valued by many major employers. Work is set to help you practise problem-solving and essay-writing skills, supported by constructive comments and regular feedback from experienced tutors.
